I talk often about my love for heirlooms and how important they are. So, when Jamie & Alex said they wanted to have their Franklin, TN engagement session in Jamie’s grandma’s backyard, I was all in. What a more special spot than one so close to her heart!
When I help plan couples engagement sessions, I always ask if there’s a spot in Nashville that’s meaningful. It may be a coffee shop, or a specific area of town where they had their first date. Or maybe it’s the Nashville skyline because it’s where they met. Having your engagement session look and feel like your love is truly so important. It’s the beginning of us telling your love story!
Jamie wanted to keep their engagement session intimate and chose her grandmother’s backyard in Franklin, TN. And would you look at the sunlight here!? It was an absolutely perfect location. And the fact that she has family ties here means even more.
We laughed, and their sweet dog Annie definitely stole the show! Look how beautiful this pup is! I absolutely love when dogs are included in my couples engagement sessions! Dogs are part of our families and getting to love on couples fur babies is always a favorite thing of mine!
We will be celebrating these two at their wedding at 14Tenn in Nashville in March with sweet Annie as the flower girl! I am so excited to get to tell the next part of their love story!
